For jetBlue flights, use their “FALLSALE” coupon-code (expires 7/27 at about 1:00am ct) for $25 off one-way, $50 off round-trips. More details about the coupon at jetBlue.com. This sale is being aggressively matched by Untied. Before you finalize your purchase, you may want to do a quick check to see if other airlines have a better deal.
JetBlue’s “Basic” fares only allow a small personal item (17 x 13 x 8 inches), like a Jansport SuperBreak backpack without a fee. A regular sized carry-on bag will incur a bag fee. To avoid bag fees, consider using a credit card with the “first free checked bag” perk.

[07/26/2023 @ 05:10 PM] Removed expired fares. A few are still available.
Southwest is marketing a sale today as requiring a coupon-code “29OFF”, which doesn’t seem to really be a requirement. If you use the search calendar, the discount is already applied. They are also marketing this as a limited, California only sale, and again, this doesn’t seem to be correct. We’re also seeing lower fares for many destinations outside of and not departing from California. Unlike some blogs, we’ve manually looked at all of their major routes and noted which ones are really on sale, and which aren’t.
Southwest has round-trip flights from Austin and San Antonio to various destinations in the USA at a discount today for $110-$238, NONSTOP or with a connection. Dates vary, use the linked calendar. Origin/Destination reversible. No Major Holiday dates available. We believe these discount fares will end of 07/26/2023.
Costco has the $500 Alaska Airlines gift-card on sale for $450. This is a pretty good way to save $50-off Alaska Airlines flights. The full terms and conditions are on the Costco gift-card landing page [linked].
Alaska Airlines flies nonstop from Austin to Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, and Portland. As for San Antonio, Alaska only does nonstop to Seattle.
Another smaller price drop from this fare that we mentioned a few weeks ago.
